paleonet paleontology position and compatibility with creation/youngearth

["John Dawson" <JDAWSON@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Since we are talking about paleontology and creationism again, I thought I would tell you about a job ad I recently saw.  It reads:

Geology:Ph.D. required. Teaching Introductory Geology, Paleontology, and History of Life. Compatibility with a young-earth creationist position required.

This is at Liberty University and you can see the ad here: http://www.liberty.edu/index.cfm?printpage=yPID=4353&PID=4353

Since I've been looking for jobs lately, I wondered about applying to this position for fun.  I really wonder how large an applicant pool they will have when most paleontologists, by design of the science, should not be compatible with the view of the university.

John
